CodeBridge Living Wage

1. Vision

To calculate a living wage is a one sided approach to solving the fundamental challenge with earning a wage that can support a cost of living. It should be noted that by increasing a wage because the cost of living is unmanaged is not fair to start with and irresponsible. By doing this, general cost of living will occur across the board. Studies have shown that people will typically outlive their increase in 6 months, thus repeating the cycle of not able to afford their cost of living.

1.1 Primary

Support the domestic worker and/or employer to determine their cost of living which then enable them to understand what income they need to generate.

1.2 Secondary

Provide the contributor an opportunity to learn and gain experience in the following areas:

  • Contributing to a project that is trying to solve a social challenge;
  • Working in an Open Source Project community;
  • Exposure to the tech stacks used;
  • Exposure to Agile development methodologies;
  • Network with contributors;

2. MVP Features

A minimum viable product (MVP) is a concept from Lean Startup that stresses the impact of learning in new product development. Eric Ries, defined an MVP as that version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort.
